I stumbled upon this while doing some web surfing and it looks pretty interesting:
Apparently he had to move and dismantle but he was advertising as “Free layout tour”. Anybody out there get a chance to look at this when it was still operating? Not really my style but it seems kinda neat.
He’s obviously single - or married to a vegtable.[:P]
Wash the dishes before taking pics![:I]
Interesting mix of foam & alum foil for scenery!![:o)]
Suprised he’s not in an apartment with padded “scenery”!![oops]
I wish the old lady would let me do that!!![:D]
Based on his “lessons learned,” he’s doing it the hard way and ought to come here for some tips!
This guy certainly doesnt date much, thats for sure.
I could see a small layout tucked in the corner in a small apartment like this but this is a little over the top to me…read the “Page 8” section…wow!..
fixed
Man , this guy needs a girl, that last page…
Wow, I didn’t see that. Guy’s got some problems, and not just with his modeling, either.
I’m actually surprised that Boeing hired him back.
The most shocking thing is not the fact that he had all those problems, but the fact that he posted everything in vivid detail on a web site.
I always wanted to see what an apartment would look like with trains in everyroom. Now I can scratch that off my “to do list” [:)]
I’d give the guy a pass on this one. He’s a janitor at Boeing with a Forrest Gump I.Q. Boeing sent him to their company shrink for applying for the CEO job there. Apparently he was “overqualified” for the job [:D]
Naw, that’s what ‘the kids’ do these days. They don’t seem to understand that doing so will cause them problems down the road.
Yeah but this guy is like 40. He gives a whole new dimension to the term “train nut”
I used to dream to have a layout like that.
I don’t know which is more messed up? The trains, his life, or the fact that he posts both in such detail.
Coming from you that does not surprise me.
I have a job that takes me away from home for long periods of time. I have done modular (domino) layouts in an apartment. Although not to the degree pictured here. When I changed jobs, I could easily move the layout. When I was single, I had a large two track oval (HO scale) domino layout which ran the perimiter of the living-dining room for a 14’ x 24’ layout. When I got married the layout came down!
I recently built a new home for the wife with a large 1800 sq ft basement which is all mine. My previous apartment layout is set up in the basement until I can build the large dream layout. I am on the road again, so I have a small modular layout in the apartment. The apartment layout sections are designed to be incorporated into the large home layout.
I think the guy needs to stay away from the Nyquil. It seems to get him in loads of trouble at work. Can’t say the guy is trying to move up though. from Janitor to CEO of Boeing? That’s not only a step up but a trip to the moon and back in a single bound!
Some parts of the house should be off limits to the trains. I can see the big derailment into the kitchen sink. Not a good place for the locomotive to end up…chuck
What I meant was that I used to dream to have a layout of that size. Not running in the entire house.
Has anybody here ever seen Kitch-N-Trak?
That entire last page was one heck of a ramble.
Yeah.
